New stator, new voltage regulator but this thing is killing batteries repetatively.
Only kills them while running and it kills them BAD. As in not savable. It's getting expensive replacing a cheap part but also killing a new battery with ever failed attempt. My daughter can run it for 10 minutes and it fires right back up but when she rides for 30-45 it is stone dead (like .6 volts). I don't know exactly when it dies because it will run without a battery. How can I test a running machine for a battery drain? My tester says it's charging the battery normally. It would seem it it was draining that fast something would burst into flame!
